One irritating thing to me is the advantage the ranked preseason teams have. As others have said, the first poll shouldn't come out until October. If you start out highly ranked you're more likely to stay in when you lose and keep going up when you win.

Gold glasses, maybe, but I think this game sets up well for us. Cuse can't stop the run and we run it well. They don't run it well but may have a good pass game. But this year we have a real pass rush and a DC who has a way of disguising what we're doing with our blitzes. I think we get a pick...

Mtnwasp said about what I wanted to say several screens back. That is, an offensive plan to try against us is the quick pass. Teams used to do that to us during the Tenuta days too. On the one hand, it is hard to defend. But there are at least two weaknesses. The first is you have run a...

I'll echo wvgt. I thought it would take many years to go from two years ago to what I saw today. Key has been amazing.

I like not having an SEC team in the final. I had begun to feel sorry for Michigan since they have made the playoffs so many times without doing much once they got there. Maybe the SEC PR machine will be quieter for awhile.

I don't think I've ever seen Obama's offensive and defensive lines dominated like Michigan is dominating them.

I must be the most naive guy around. When this game was first announced, I thought FSU would want to show the world they belonged in the big show by beating Georgia. We might benefit from this foolishness one day. With the right culture and not as many superstars as some programs, we might...

Does Clem have defensive players sitting out? They don't look like themselves.

I understand players not wanting to be injured and ruining their chance to transfer, but I hate it. Teams play schedules of their conferences and patsies. Far from meaningless, the bowls are the chance to see conferences play against each other. Or did. When I see all the FSU starters not...

At the beginning of the year, I saw a few good offensive skill players and little more. I couldn't imagine ending up with much of a team with that to work with. And yet we can play with about anyone at this point. I think all of the coaches -- and players -- are owed a big shout out.

Fred, the bowl season is our best chance to chip away at the perception that we ate a weak league. I believe this has already hurt us in the FSU situation, and it sill again.

Is it possible that the reason Alabama got in was because the committee thought the vast SEC viewing audience wouldn't watch if no SEC team was included? Northeast, I'm still gonna watch and hope for a beat down by FSU.

I intend to pull for Michigan, Washington and FSU. I would love to see Michigan and FSU be so far ahead people quit watching by half time.

So we hear that the selection committee was told to try to pick the four best teams to ensure competitive games and thus good tv ratings. Who exactly did the telling? It gripes me to no end that the goal of the playoffs is now to have the highest ratings instead of finding the champion.

Northeast, I have no idea how the opting out will fall out. But i' m thinking two teams furious about being left out will play their butts off. Like you I think FSU will win. Neither Georgia nor Alabama looked as good as they often do.

If FSU beats UGA and Washington and Michigan lose, FSU would remain the only undefeated major school. Would they be voted the old timely MNC?

This mess is the fault of the auburn defensive coordinator. Had he not rushed only two on the last play of the game last week, Bama and Georgia would have been eliminated.

Any chance the starter for FSU can be healthy by the time the playoffs start?

We have a better QB than Alabama Who'd a thunk it.

Texas is routing OSU. If that holds, how will it effect things?
